Dressing America

This documentary moved along quickly and was narrated mainly by the interviewees, which worked really well. The camera didn't dwell too long on them and gave us plenty of shots of the city and the designs and life of the subject. That was great. So often we see more of the host or the narrator or the folks being interviewed than of the topic itself.

I would have given it a 10 had they left out Boyarsky giving his dad such a bad time. He only made himself look like a doof. Plus, I've never understood how folks in the image industry use vocabulary that brings up imagery that is disgusting. In many cases, people would rather die than decorate their clothing or homes or whatever w crap, yet they'll decorate their speech with it. Whatever. We were VERY grateful that the producers choose to mute the lowbrow words rather than use that annoying bleep sound.

And it would have been fun to be able to see the hat that Greta Garbo was wearing, since the hat is what they were talking about.

Either way, it's a great documentary and left us feeling appreciative and energetic.
